While the derby winners around two-time goalscorers Simon Makienok were supposed to take one or the other “bulb in their hand”, that is, a cold beer, captain Sebastian Schonlau and Co. from Hamburger SV had to let their own fans insult them.

Wildly gesticulating, their own followers roared at the team after the 2: 3 (1: 1), the next derby defeat was difficult for them to endure.

“I'm personally sorry for the fans,” said the new HSV coach Tim Walter and almost apologized after the fourth defeat in the last five Hamburg derbies: “Because we didn't represent our colors as we should should do."

After the recently missed promotion, HSV under Walter should act aggressively, actively and offensively, but at Millerntor they played slowly, sometimes confused and once again easy to calculate.

Four points from the first three games are far too few for the claims of the supposedly much larger club von der Elbe, but the next bankruptcy against the unpopular neighbor hurts even more.

In any case, the 700 approved HSV fans among the 10,700 spectators at Millerntor were really angry.

“That just really hurts,” said Schonlau.

"That's the best feeling"

Makienok and Co., on the other hand, could hardly believe their luck.

"It's a Dream.

A derby win, that's the best feeling, ”said the Dane at Sky after he had shot the Kiezkicker with his two goals (56th and 58th) at least for a few hours at the top of the table in the second division.

St. Pauli did not play outstandingly, but with a lot of heart, will and well organized.

That was enough because the young Finn Ole Becker (27th) had a good day against the weak HSV.

Only Sonny Kittel (43.) and Robert Glatzel (77.) met for the red trousers.

And so St. Pauli's trainer Timo Schultz had "a fat request" for his team afterwards.

They “should let the pig out”, he said, of course everything is “corona-compliant”, but they can “let themselves go” for once.

He gave his derby winners Saturday off for this.

"There is an incredible amount of energy in the team," said Schultz, and it is possible that the backdrop, which at times was reminiscent of the pre-Corona period, made St. Pauli march like this.

The "fans supported us brutally," said Schultz: "That's a huge pound for us."

As nice as the atmosphere in the stadium was, outside the fans also created unsightly scenes.

On the fringes of the game, there were isolated riots, at least two police officers were injured.
